Joseph Most Just, Pray for Us What does it mean to call St. Joseph a just man? Saint Josemaria Escriva´ provides a great answer for us. He ST. JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC CHURCH states: 201 Main Street, Worcester, NY 12197 Saint Joseph was an ordinary sort of man on whom God relied to do great things. He did exactly what the Lord wanted him to do, in each and every event that went to make Phone:607-397-9373 [email protected] / “Facebook.com/joseph.saint.12720” up his life.

This required him to Weekday Masses travel to Jerusalem three times—a long distance from Nazareth—and participate in various rituals and ceremo- nies. We, on the other hand, most likely live a short distance from a Catholic church. If we can not spend one Wednesday: Mass 9 AM hour a week thanksgiving God and worshipping him, we are not loving God or giving God his due. We are not just men. Friday : Adoration 11 AM There is no greater way to tell God ― I love you,‖ give thanks to God, and worship him than through the Holy Mass 12 PM Sacrifice of the Mass. ―Eucharist‖ means ―thanksgiving.‖ (Reprinted from the “Consecration to St.
